Proposed Changes

  • loadTDF refuses a manifest whose encryptionInformation.keyAccess is empty or absent with SDK.MalformedTDFException ("no key access objects"), before any KAS request, integrity check, or assertion check. The payload key is assembled only from key access objects, so such a file can't be decrypted.
  • Key reconstruction also fails with SDK.SplitKeyException when no split was found, so no path continues with the all-zero starting value of the payload key.
  • SDK.readManifest, isTDF, and manifest inspection are unchanged.

Split out of #432 (draft; the complete change). Cross-SDK counterparts: opentdf/platform#4302, opentdf/web-sdk#1136; cross-SDK test: opentdf/tests#703.

Compatibility: a TDF with no key access objects now fails at load with a malformed-TDF error instead of a later, less specific failure.

Checklist

  • I have added or updated unit tests
  • I have added or updated integration tests (if appropriate)
  • I have added or updated documentation

Testing Instructions

  • mvn -pl sdk,cmdline -am test (new cases in TDFKeyAccessTest).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • TDF files with missing or empty key access information are now rejected with a clearer error before key access or integrity checks begin.
    • Encrypted files that cannot reconstruct a split key now fail instead of continuing with an invalid key.

The payload key is assembled only from key access objects. A manifest
whose encryptionInformation.keyAccess is empty or absent is now refused
as a malformed TDF when it is loaded, before any KAS, integrity or
assertion step, with a message that says it has no key access objects.
Key reconstruction also fails if no split is found.

Walkthrough

TDF loading now rejects manifests with absent or empty key-access objects before KAS, integrity, or assertion processing. For encrypted payloads, loading also throws SDK.SplitKeyException when key-access processing reconstructs no split key.

Changes: TDF Key-Access Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reject manifests with no key-access objects

Manifest validation reports when keyAccess is absent. TDF loading rejects absent or empty key-access lists before KAS access. Tests cover rejection before any unwrap and successful decryption with one unwrap.

For encrypted payloads, TDF loading throws SDK.SplitKeyException when no split IDs were found.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 3 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

No empty list can pass from there.
One unwrap brings the plaintext near,
No split key? The error’s clear.
The burrow hums; the checks are done.
